Not sure - is this the right CD? As in, if you're using Office XP Pro, you
aren't trying to use another non-Office-XP Pro CD?

If you go to add/remove programs, choose Office, can you reinstall it?
 
If I reinstall outlook, will I lose my data, or will it just reinstall over
it??

If you reinstall Office or Outlook, it should retain your settings & data
just fine. I'd make a backup copy of the PST file and put it somewhere for
safekeeping, though.
